ULA launches first Vulcan rocket to start busy year<\/h2>\n

Feel free to argue their market viability or how their rockets might be overpriced in your opinion, but there is just nothing like a ULA launch countdown. Well, maybe a NASA countdown but we\u2019re still a year away from another one of those at best. It just all screams tradition and nostalgia that brings goosebumps whenever I hear \u201cgo for launch\u201d after a good go\/no-go poll.<\/p>\n

Okay, fanboying part over. Monday morning, to start the week off strong, ULA debuted its Vulcan rocket to space. A rocket that has been in some sort of development for over a decade and continues the legacy of the Atlas V and Delta IV rockets, Vulcan is no longer \u201cin-development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vulcan stands as ULA\u2019s step into a market less reliant on national security and other government launch contracts but with more use of commercial launch orders. ULA plans to have as many as half of its future launches be commercial and start launching Vulcan every two weeks.<\/p>\n
